Cam Devanney 3B | PIT
Pirates' Cam Devanney: Joining Pirates
The Pirates recalled Devanney from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Since joining the Pirates organization via trade from Kansas City on July 16, Devanney has slashed .256/.327/.361 with two homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored across 147 plate appearances. Those numbers represent a significant drop off from the .931 OPS he posted with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, but he'll aim to contribute for the big club nonetheless. The 28-year-old has experience at every infield position and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

He's gotten on base consistently since returning from a thumb injury Aug. 15, maintaining a .354 on-base percentage with seven runs scored across 12 games. Meidroth has also chipped in three RBI and a stolen base, but he won't offer much power.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Posts 10th career multi-homer game
Swanson went 3-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI, a triple and an additional run scored in an 11-7 win over the Rockies on Friday.

Otto Lopez SS | MIA
Marlins' Otto Lopez: Career-high four RBI vs. Mets
Lopez went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer and a two-run single during Friday's 19-9 loss to the Mets.
Friday's game was out of reach for the Marlins after giving up 12 runs through the first two innings, but Lopez was able to make the result slightly more respectable with four RBI, though his two-run homer in the ninth came off of catcher Luis Torrens. Even so, Lopez's four RBI were the most of his career and brought him up to 65 RBI on the season, which is second most on the Marlins behind Kyle Stowers (73). Lopez has gone 9-for-27 (.333) with one steal, one homer and seven RBI over his last seven games.

Gabriel Arias SS | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Exits after HBP
Arias was removed from Friday's game against Seattle after getting hit on his right wrist by a pitch, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Arias had to leave the game immediately after taking a 95-mph sinker off his wrist in the second inning. The severity of his injury should be revealed after the Guardians' training staff gets a chance to evaluate him. Angel Martinez entered the game as Arias' replacement and would likely be the favorite to pick up a few starts if the latter needs to miss time.
